TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid chemistry approach to model the high-temperature oxidation of real, distillate fuels is presented, in which the kinetics of thermal and oxidative pyrolysis of the fuel are modeled using lumped kinetic parameters derived from experiments.

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative approach to modeling high-temperature combustion chemistry of multicomponent real fuels was proposed and tested, and results demonstrate that HyChem models are capable of predicting a wide range of combustion properties, including ignition delay times, laminar flame speeds and non-premixed flame extinction strain rates of all five fuels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different fuel candidates on the operability of gas turbines by comparing a conventional petroleum-based fuel with two other alternative fuel candidates is evaluated, and large-eddy simulations are performed to examine the performance of these fuels on the stable condition close to blowout in a referee gas turbine combustor.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid chemistry approach has been developed for the modeling of real fuels; it incorporates a basic understanding about the combustion chemistry of multicomponent liquid fuels that overcomes some of the limitations of the conventional surrogate fuel approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the applicability of the hybrid chemistry approach is tested for single-component fuels using JP10 as the model fuel and the method remains the same: an experimentally constrained, lumped single-fuel model describing the kinetics of fuel pyrolysis is combined with a detailed fuel chemistry model.
